Was up in northern ontario this weekend, and happened to come across some red-capped mushrooms... Unfortunately didn't have a camera on me and only remember that it had a red cap, white gils and was growing on pine needles. Any estimates based on info?

I wasn't checking to see if it was an edible/active, I was just curious on some possibilities for the type of mushroom. I was unfortunately without a notebook to copy information down or a camera, so I can only give a description from memory alone. None of them had any signs of a veil, their cap was a slightly duller red then an amanita, I wasn't able to take a spore print, they had no white spots/warts on them, were found growing on pine needles in northern Ontario, Canada, gills were white and stem was white, and had a very weak smell (had to have nose practically pressed to mushroom to get a good scent). That's about all I can remember..
